Hi! Co-blogger JM,

Pieces of You

Sypnosis:

Marguerite Caine’s
physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their
most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into
parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s
father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant
Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.

Marguerite can’t let
the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through
different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways.
With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon
she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she
ever could have imagined.

A Thousand Pieces of
You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead
in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite
possibilities, one love can endure.

Much more beautiful in person *own photo*

Plot. A unique and
interesting concept covering the book. A centralized mind-set of Marguerite to
kill Paul Markov whom she THINKS that killed her parents. the fact that
Marguerite is chasing Paul with her companion Theo through different dimensions
is awe-ing, but those dimensions really got me... one is London, and the other
is Russia! every dimension they go through they are somebody else. for example,
if you are a slave in your own world, then in the other dimension you are a
prince... it did had me gripped!

Cover. I barely
includes cover as a main point and as you can see in my blog cover, it says
"Judging the book, NOT by its cover" which is contradictory to
what I am doing right now, but hey look at that majestic cover... the cover is not the whole basis of my rating by the way! I didn't fully judged the book by just looking at it so I'm not guilty to
include this as a main point... The cover filled my eyes with elegant
colors and attractive concept. it did summarized and showed the whole premise
of the book which is time travel and dimension hopping! it's an eye candy of a
book, really!Characters. Complex characters. even in other dimension they are so
on-point of their different signature personalities that did defines who they
really are. some of the characters did got me so sketchy about them and I saw
their true colors at the end which satisfied, because skeptical it s, I felt
about them since i got to know them... it kept me guessing over and over again
til' the last part.

SEQUEL (Book 2)

My dear lord, another eye candy

of a novel!

**Release date: November 3, 2015**

Adjudication:

the book itself an stand on its own which perhaps
can be a stand-alone novel but Gray did left some few strands of questions than
can absolutely lead into a good sequel!The twist at the end part didn't quite
got me since I kept on guessing since I flipped the first page (sarcastically)
but it was a Good twist. not much of a mind-blowing twist but did made sense
and satisfied me at the end. All in all I enjoyed it. I can't stop reading and
kept me at the edge of my seat because of the scenes and events in every page!
Now i crave for the sequel which i wish will be as good as the first book or
perhaps better!
